In Monday night’s game against the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins standout Tyreek Hill experienced a severe leg injury that led to him being carted off the field. His team later announced that he had suffered a dislocated knee.
The incident occurred during the third quarter as Hill was tackled near the sideline. Jets safety Malachi Moore landed awkwardly on the back of Hill’s legs, causing him to fall awkwardly.
Following the fall, the 31-year-old was in visible distress, leading to a considerable delay while medical staff attended to him. He was subsequently taken by cart to the hospital, where he will remain overnight for further observation.
Then, as Hill was taken away, he raised his hands to the crowd as if he was calling for them to make more noise.
Despite the severity of the situation, Hill managed to applaud and even wave to Dolphins fans, though the injury looked so severe that worries arose about his ability to play in the 2025 season.

In a late-night update, former Dolphins offensive tackle Terron Armstead shared that Hill had contacted him via FaceTime. Armstead quoted Hill saying, ‘man I’m just happy we got that win’ during their conversation.
‘He’s in good spirits and said he was laughing through the pain, to avoid passing out!! crazy! Praying for best news possible and speedy recovery!’
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel shared a similar note about how Hill seemed upbeat in spite of his sudden ailment.
‘His spirits were incredibly high, probably the best I’ve ever seen in a situation like this,’ coach McDaniel said. ‘He immediately reassured everyone, saying, “I’m good. Just make sure the guys get this win.” His focus remained on the team.’
McDaniel also noted that Hill was laughing and joking with teammates as he was being loaded on the cart. The coach credited the receiver’s attitude with keeping his team focused.
The Dolphins, going after their first win of the season, were quick to rule him out of the game. Now, doctors are working to discover if Hill has torn any ligaments in his knee before determining how long he will be out for.
But fans were sickened by the clip of the injury that circulated online. One wrote: ‘Man that Tyreek Hill video need to come with a warning.’
Another said: Tyreek Hill had his leg snapped like a Lego, but Twitter dont take anything seriously, so the memes are going crazy.’

Hill has been at the center of huge controversy in the NFL over the last few months.
The league is currently investigating him over allegations of domestic abuse made by his estranged wife, Keeta Vaccaro.
Vaccaro filed for divorce from Hill on April 7 – one day after police responded to reports of an ‘assault in progress’ at their home.
The Dolphins wide receiver, who is believed to have as many as 10 kids, was not arrested following the incident, though Vaccaro’s mother Alesia said he had acted ‘aggressive and impulsive’ after he allegedly hurled a laptop to the floor.

Divorce court documents obtained by TMZ have accused Hill of domestic violence on several occasions, including when Vaccaro was pregnant with their baby daughter Capri. He is also accused of spitting at her on one occasion.
The documents are part of the couple’s ongoing divorce case. Through his attorney, Hill has denied the allegations and called them a ‘smear campaign.’
The couple wed in November 2023, but Vaccaro has alleged that Hill began getting physical with her just two months later in January 2024.

Meanwhile, the Dolphins have endured a disastrous start to the season with pressure ramping up on head coach Mike McDaniel. And for the controversy around Hill’s personal life, he is a key player for the team on the field.
Last season, he was unhappy at missing out on the playoffs and threatened to leave the team – even now, he was being linked with a trade going into Monday’s Jets showdown.
But now, all that talk is on hold as he faces an anxious wait to learn the extent of the injury.
